I always believed in work of invisible hand that makes your life better, Aditya Birla Group is that invisible hand for me, since childhood it has played major role in my life, I live in outskirts of Kalyan in area which was developed by the efforts of ABG as they have setup their 100th company named Century Rayon their without that I don’t think the place I love so much could have been my home.
My first apparel brand was Peter England, my first encounter with the quality clothing and you guessed it right it’s because of ABG, which made me inclined to use brands and some of my favourites like Allen Solly are made by ABG, I remember the first phone my father bought and he used Idea SIM in it, still to the date I use idea SIM as it the most trustworthy network for me,
Roads I used made by ABG, The Biggest Temple in the locality Birla Mandir, was due to the efforts and charity of Aditya Birla Group, I thought what else could be there that I am missing and the most important thing that is my house built using Ultratech Cement, junior college I attended Birla college of Arts, science and Commerce, was setup by the group, now when I look at things and the role Aditya Birla group in my life I cant imagine the journey without it, like me there are many whose life is touched by ABG through various initiatives and CSR activities like Aditya Birla scholarships, Aditya Birla academy, Aditya Birla memorial hospitals.
The Ultimate Struggle of my Life
I consider not getting selected in Top B school in my first attempt after not joining job is my biggest failure till date. I had placement offer from IT company. Company differed my joining date by six months, I did not have any backup so I started exploring other options, whilst doing that I came across the financial crisis of 2008 and started reading about it, I developed interest in finance and decided to pursue MBA, and started preparing for state MBA entrance exam now the problem arises as my joining date was just 20 days before the entrance test, and if I joined the company then I wont be able to study for test as the company had 12 week induction training in which no personal computers were allowed to carry, so it was the moment to take the biggest decision of my life either prepare for exam or take job, and I chose to go with preparation as I have developed affection towards the domain, I prepared for exam rigorously and gave exam but result was not satisfactory, as my purpose to give exam was to get into the that on top B school and failing to get into that I was devastated. And slippery slope of confidence started from there the year succeeding that was the toughest year in my life, I decided to take a job and started giving interviews, but decided to give one more attempt, I also decide to appear for CAT, but little that I knew I was under lot of mental pressure, I failed to control situation, its only after my second attempt I able to figure out the right attitude to face such adversities, I decided to prepare for faculty of management studies, Delhi and stopped thinking about past decisions and failures started meditating and focusing on what is present and how can I make most of it, stopped worrying about irrelevant things and focused on preparation this time I excelled in exam and got call from the red building of dreams, FMS and I converted, it was the day I got happy after so many years, started on my path of redemption, if given a second chance will definitely try to reconcile myself and face situations with due diligence and face the adversities with confidence, in this whole struggle I learned a very important lesson that is belief in oneself and hard work are the key to release your potential & will always make you achieve things you deemed unachievable, it makes impossible possible
